My Heart's In The Highlands


Farewell to the Highlands,
farewell to the North,

The birth-place of Valour,
the country of Worth;

Wherever I wander,
wherever I rove,

The hills of the Highlands
for ever I love.

My heart's in the Highlands,
my heart is not here,

My heart's in the Highlands,
a-chasing the deer;

Chasing the wild-deer,
and following the roe,

My heart's in the Highlands,
wherever I go.
Farewell to the mountains,
high-cover'd with snow

Farewell to the straths
and green vallies below

Farewell to the forests
and wild-hanging woods,

Farewell to the torrents
and loud-pouring floods.

My heart's in the Highlands,
my heart is not here

My heart's in the Highlands,
a-chasing the deer

Chasing the wild-deer,
and following the roe,

My heart's in the Highlands,
wherever I go.

by Robert Burns, 1789
